I'm not through with this book yet, but have enjoyed it so far. Much of it is in line with his other books. Good, practical advice and some nuggets of gold that are priceless. You will not be disappointed.

An excellent resource for Pastors who are willing to put in the effort and time to implement some of the growth ideas found in this book. Nelson Searcy not only gives some great, implementable ideas but gives you a web site where you can get forms and other information to put this to work for you. I highly recommend.
